Cut My Ties

Cut My Ties is a poem in response to a video prompt presented in OctPoWriMo 2015 - 31 Poems in 31 Days Challenge - Day 2 See the video here Cut my ties with earth Set my spirits free Let me close my eyes This is not where I want to be You left me standing here Alone in my path Now I know not where to go We have never lived apart Cut my ties with earth Set my spirits free Let me close my eyes Next time I want to meet you in a place Where you want to be

Like a Dream

OctPoWriMo 2015 - Day 11 Poetry Prompt for the day - Sing Out Your Success. I never thought I could. I had my own doubts and I thought I never would. But here I am having succeeded in what I set out to do. For most of my life I never believed that I could For most of my life I never really understood Why it had to be this way While sitting behind a wheel My thoughts would go astray Impending doom Was all l could ever think of At times I wondered Would I be the cause Of a precious life lost I never believed that I could Never ever believed that I would Miracles happen I do believe Now I drive my car like a dream Linking back to OctPoWRiMo - 2015

Catch Me If You Can

This is a poem expressing the nature of things that slip by in a second. We know that we can never catch them even if we try We still keep trying with hope - Catch me if you can Slip sliding sand Catch me if you can Wind slipping through your hand Catch me if you can Fleeting thoughts that you want to keep Catch me if you can Hail stones that melt and seep Catch me if you can Raindrops falling down Catch me if you can The lightning speed of sound Catch me if you can Words spoken out loud Catch me if you can Echoes floating around Catch me if you can You know you really can't Why you keep trying I simply don't understand Catch me if you can With your two hands Catch me if you can Can you really?

Mother Nature - Let Us Preserve

Mother Nature-Let us preserve We have to preserve Mother Nature for our future generations. We must make sure that they enjoy what we have enjoyed on this beautiful planet Earth. Together we must preserve nature and stop cutting down trees, polluting the environment, and reduce our carbon footprints on Earth. These are poems reflecting thoughts about preserving nature for everyone to enjoy and continue enjoying for many generations to come. Deep beneath the earth A fire lighted by love Blessed from God in heaven Showered with kindness and love Roots begin to grow Holding soil together The flowers begin their show Blooming now and forever Rainbow colored dreams Painted by Mother Nature The message to all it seems To make nature last forever The silver streams streak A pathway to ocean glory The rocks carve and etch Mother Nature’s story The luscious green grass Paints a background for nature The flowers popping up in-between A glorious canvas o...

Earth - Goodnight

Earth - Goodnight A poem about how Earth needs rest to relax and recuperate. We should take care of our planet and let Earth flourish for us and future generations. Sweet Earth Goodnight As the wind blows The trees sway Leaves rustle Shadows play As the sun sets The rays slant Caressing Earth With its loving glance Done with the day Earth welcomes The darkness The Milkyway Gently sinking Into the night A sweet reverie With stars insight Earth lulled to sleep To rest and relax With sweet dreams Earth goodnight Image Credit - pixabay

Breathless

Image Credit Breathless is a poem in response to a poetry prompt presented in OctPoWriMo 2015 - 31 Poems in 31 Days Challenge - Day 3 . I have attempted to form the shape of a moon with my words. Day has just begun clock ticking away time zipping past fast faster than the speed of light trying to catch up every second before the day quickly slips away playing snakes and ladders jumping slip sliding every now and then never stopping to take...
